Max finds something nasty in Callum's flat

What's on TV reveals that the custody battle for Max takes a strange turn when Max finds something he shouldn't in Callum's flat.

The magazine doesn't say what it is that Max finds only that it comes in a brown padded envelope. Oh, I do hope it's not someone's Finger of Doom.

Anyway, this rambling preamble is an introduction to a nice little interview in this week's TV Times which I have in front of me. TV Times is one of the two magazines I buy every week, the other one being Inside Soap.

The interview is with Sean Ward, who plays comedy Callum. Sean comes over as a really top bloke and there's a couple of snippets worth sharing.

He says that when he next gets some time off work he's going to go to an eco-retreat at a Buddhist centre in Ecuador. He plans to spend time meditating and reflecting on how amazing his past year has been.

His worst nightmare would be getting caught falling out of a cab drunk. He says: "Coronation Street will always be bigger than me and I want to represent the show in a good light when I'm out."

Sean was brought up by his mum as a single parent. He says: "My dad is my best mate but when I was growing up my grandad was my role model. He was a fireman and helped lead the Fire Brigades Union. I used to go on picket lines with him and would be on his shoulders, holding a placard."

Max finds mind-altering drugs that make him violent. In a fit of sudden rage he murders Callum along with Bethany and Sarah, who happen to be visiting. Instead of being sent to prison or young offenders, he is given a medal for services to television.

Humpty Dumpty,I remember that storyline,David hid drugs in Bethany's doll for the Morton bloke and she accidently overdosed.Now it seems they're recycling the same storyline for the same family?!Ridiculous!Sarah better not defend Callum this time!
